“I climbed up on the body of the limo bus,” he said, “but I couldn’t reach them and pull them.”

Morgan and his crew had been all smiles earlier that night, after doing a show in Dover, Del.

Gale recalled how much pride Morgan had, seeing his infant daughter.

“[It was] a great show in Dover, a lot of excitement going home,” Gale said. “Tracy was holding the baby before we left and he said, `I’m holding my princess!’”

Walmart CEO Bill Simon has said his company will “take full responsibility” if it’s shown that its driver caused this accident.

“We’re praying for the family and friends of the passenger who lost his life in the terrible accident in New Jersey,” Simon said. “Our hearts go out to everyone involved and we hope those who were injured get the care that they need and make a full recovery.”

He added: “The facts are continuing to unfold. If it’s determined that our truck caused the accident, Walmart will take full responsibility.”
